[Mondo Books] The Art of Comics

[mllNY]

Whether it’s startling superheroes, amazing fantasy, sinister crime, revelatory memoir, or mind-bending psychedelia, comics continue to be perhaps the most durable and consistently innovative creative medium. Whether or not they’re the (credited) writer, comic book artists are required to be master storytellers. They act as a one-person film set – devising the acting, cinematography, blocking, editing, art direction, and lighting that work best for the project.

This month Mondo Books is celebrating works by and about a few of our favorite comic book artists – the legendary Wallace Wood, modern Marvel superstars Esad Ribic and Chris Bachalo, and three incredible Mondo alumni – Rosemary Valero-O’Connell, Becky Cloonan, and Mike Mignola.

Each book is available for purchase now in our Books Collection and set to ship this August.
